I am sure. :/

Selfie Camera as no autofocus. So your friends were probably too far.

Is it about only my mate 20 pro? Is everybody happy about selfie photos?

Not happy with the selfie camera. I use the regular camera as a selfie camera most of the time.

honor 9 front camera awful quality

Hey guys i just wanna check if it's only my device or the front camera is really that bad, here is a selfie i took in a room with enough light, it's kinda blurry and a lot of noise, is it normal??? I tried many times always the same quality. Didn't try it yet in day light tho
Looks to me like you are using the web cam on your laptop to take the selfie rather than the one on the Honor 9

I think aperature mode reduces some of the over face softening and blemish removal. But it's still not as sharp as some phones like the Pixel. I think some places in the world prefer softer and lighter faces, so it's incorporated into the camera software. I'm awaiting replacement right now, so I can't check to see if its available under the front camera. It helped with the back camera for me.
Just looked, sadly there is no aperture under front camera. Is there any other way to reduce it? It is a software thing right?
And I tried to use portrait mode with selfie cam but there is no bokeh effect do I have to do something else?
Reduce beauty effect to zero
I did does not help sadly

In the camera app.. There are 3 options to get what you wanted. Test them all. I find the selfie cam close to pixel phone as well
I will try thanks. But what about the bokeh effect? It does not apply to it when I shoot a picture in the portrait mode

I got this answer from other forum.
I am not sure you are talking about the fron or rear camera so i just assume you meant the fron one.
Go to portrait mode, there will be 3 buttons below, press the one on the bottom left and select the one after "None"; the round one.
Try taking photos after you adjust the settings above.

Hi! In view finder there is a option(looks like a box), you should enable it for bokeh mode.
If you use portrait mode, and really need the bokeh (which is far from perfect even on Pixel 3), then use Portrait mode, and just hold still when you take the shot. The phone will sharpen the photo if you hold the phone steady.
My selfies are sharper on the Mate 20 Pro than my Pixel 3 (Which I am going to sell as it's rubbish)
Also, remember the smart HDR can make the photo look overprocessed.
CHinese version is updated to 166 and reportedly to improve selfie. I'll wait if not I will sell it.

Telephoto lens not being used in photo mode

When you use photo mode and toggle 2X it doesn't use the top lens, the telephoto one, it uses the maine with digital zoom, it makes no sense.
The only way to activate that lens is in portrait mode, them is uses the telephoto lens.
For me is a bit illogical not using the optical zoom in photo mode, like the mate 20 line-up does, it would be great that it could be fix in the future with a update.

.... I thought that the detail of the 2x zoom wasn't that good!
Reported to Xiaomi.
What?? You are right..... What a find....
I just also noticed this. Since using gcam with telephoto produces far better results.

TelePhoto Lens 2x times zoom is working on Photo mode.
It just depends on the lightning conditions. When it has enough light it uses telephoto.

Xiaomi Mi9T/Redmi K20 Photo & Video Thread

Hello,
First of all, we glad that xiaomi produced this completed package phone with budget price.
Lets share our photos and videos experiences using this lovely device.
Currently the downside that I found in video is lack shooting 24fps video and Filmic Pro wont open.
Feel free to share your photos guys
The phone is capable of taking great pictures with the Stock Camera if you have good light conditions like you see in my sample shots. They were taken with the main camera and just point and shoot. No fiddling around in the pro menu. However in low light I would recommend using the Google Camera port. The results are night and day compared to the stock camera and also selfies come out better with the Google camera.

maybe it's some little hand movement while taking the shot, you should try to take a picture with the phone fixed so you see the real result.
Default camera with all 3 zooms

I'm not a huge photographer. I really need the camera only for point and shoot scenarios and for that the cameras in this phone are more than enough. And for low light and selfies I just use Gcam.

That's actually impressive that a phone can capture that much details!! I wonder how it looks with Gcam.
GCam result look better for me, even the Night Mode. Stock cam sometimes abit blur/miss focus, dunno why... but with GCam, the contras is more stunning than the stock.
Pro mode stock app can take longer shutter speed than Moment Pro Camera app that i have.
anyone tries the video? Moment Pro Camera app video still cannot shoot 24fps, Filmic Pro cannot open the app.
Any idea why the phone doesn't support 4k60 Video? Because it can take 1080p240 Video which uses the same bandwidth .
What version and settings of Gcam are you guys using?

The IMX582 doesn't take 4K60 but only 30 frames. If you go full HD then 60 fps is ok. It is the snapdragon 730 that can't and it's the only difference with the pro version (snap 855)
Here are from my "Redmi K20"

MIUI Sky Filter can help changes dull sky to a blue sky ? awesome
FilmicPro team still working on issue for Mi9T, just got invitation beta tester, they say will update it soon.
Do you guys have autofocus issues while recording videos? Mine aren't smooth at all, few sporadic lags and a lot of "bounce" effect caused by the lense that fails to focus.

yes, autofocus was or maybe still is broken, especially in 60fps mode - not sure how it is now on stable roms, as am using betas.
4K video are nowhere at 30 fps, more around 20fps.
I can see that EIS is working at 4K res on 9.8.8 beta
Honestly my Pocophone is much better in video recording than Mi9T.
Still photo wise - I have made many nice shots with pocophone in past, not a single one as nice with Mi9T so far...
pro mode, 32seg expó. beautiful night
Night mode stock cam.

Question Macro Shoots

hey, how do you make macro shoots?
because there is no macro mode on S23U
i see a few of youtube videos, some tell to shoot X10 other use the ultra wide lens and zoom in (this is the way i do) and others..
What is your ways to shoot macro (insects for me) ?
thanks

There is no "Macro Lens" for S23U.

That was not the question Since the uw sensor has af, u can get close enough to your subject to use it like a macro lens and probably it is the best for close ups imo.
If you scene optimiser turned on then it will automatically switch to the wide angled lens the closer you get to object your trying to the macro shot of. That's macro mode for the s23.

Most of the phones use the "UW" lens for Macro shots since UW has a close focus capability. And there are no "true" macro lenses on any phone anyway. They just use some meme sensor + lens which has a close focusing capability.

Use PRO mode and use the ultra-wide-angle lens. That's the whole "macro" magic on the phones anyway.
In case S23U for "macro" photos device use wide lense with autofocus which compare to for example S22U wide lense don't have AF.
S23U in my opinion make good photos from close distance.

The UW lens of the S22U has AF.

Ok. But it's not change my sentence because I have S22U for disposition and s23u and this second make a lot of better macro photos, cleaner. S22U is really worse in this case
